Interested in supporting the music?
There are a number of ways you can help.
- Tell a friend
- It’s true. Word-of-mouth promotion still has an impact, particularly when music falls outside the mainstream. Discipline’s first following in Detroit grew out of people telling friends, and word-of-mouth remains the primary way that new listeners learn about the band. New social networking apps are nifty, and corporate money will always push its cash cows, but they can’t control what matters most: your voice.
- Share a link
- Provide a link to this website on another website, blog, or facebook page. Start a conversation, and help people learn about the music. Below is code you can copy-and-paste directly into another page:
<a href="http://www.strungoutrecords.com/">Discipline</a>

- Support the dealers
- Progressive rock dealers are a special breed; they mostly deal in this music out of a labor of love. These progressive rock distributors helped Discipline find its international audience before there was an Amazon or CD Baby. If you like the music of Discipline or Matthew Parmenter, consider buying their music from one of the progressive rock distributors listed on this website’s album and links pages. Try contacting the dealers directly to ask them about other music in their catalogs. They can often make recommendations based on your tastes, and they also know about the newest releases by bands most people have never heard of. You may be surprised by what you discover.
- Make a donation
- If you would like to make a financial donation to Discipline through its label, Strung Out Records, the link below can be used to to send a contribution through PayPal. Your donations will support future recordings and reissues, etc.
Check out this Wikipedia article about crowdfunding and how it helped the band Marillion fund the recording and marketing of a few releases.
Thanks for your support!
